Method of preserving data packet sequencing

摘要

A method of preserving data packet sequencing between nodes in a radio telecommunications network in which the User Datagram Protocol/Internet Protocol (UDP/IP) is utilized to communicate between the nodes of the network. Sequencing numbers are added to the headers of a plurality of data packets which are transmitted over a plurality of data transmission paths. The UDP/IP protocol is adapted with a resequencing layer which is utilized at the receiving node to resequence the packets.
